Entertaining story with good acting by main characters of a true event and 90% historically accurate, which makes a nice change! Sadly, didn't mention that 'Valois' was the name of a previous French royal family. Good inroduction to the period. Well worth watching for the lovely Simon Baker (The Mentalist)alone! Also for rounding the story up with what happened to all the protaganists - again, it's irritating when this information is missing in 'based on fact' movies.

Bought it primarily for the gorgeous Simon Baker! However, it's a good movie with excellent acting all round. Movie buffs will appreciate the references to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. A nice double twist at the end.

I waited a long time for this to be available in the UK and it was worth the wait. An intriguing plot, well acted by all concerned. The extra addition of 3 possible endings was a good idea - I wonder which one most people will choose!

Entertaining read as a novel, but, and it's a very large BUT! The author says she has 'researched' other writings - but there are far too many wrong facts and other well known facts that are not mentioned. A very biased novel, leading to a biased movie.
